Water Resources Systems Planning and ManagementElsevier, 2003 M09 12 - 882 pages This book is divided into four parts. The first part, Preliminaries, begins by introducing the basic theme of the book. It provides an overview of the current status of water resources utilization, the likely scenario of future demands, and advantages and disadvantages of systems techniques. An understanding of how the hydrological data are measured and processed is important before undertaking any analysis. The discussion is extended to emerging techniques, such as Remote Sensing, GIS, Artificial Neural Networks, and Expert Systems. The statistical tools for data analysis including commonly used probability distributions, parameter estimation, regression and correlation, frequency analysis, and time-series analysis are discussed in a separate chapter.

... period, e.g., annual maximum flow. The distinction between instantaneous and accumulative values is important when the data are further processed. Depending on the frequency of observations, the time-series data can also be classified ...
... period oftime). While designing hydrologic networks, the items to be decided are: i. the variables to be measured and the frequencies and duration of observations, ii. the location of gauging stations; iii. the instruments to be ...
... period of missing rainfall could be filled using various techniques. The length of the period up to which the data could be filled is dependent on the individual judgment. Due to the spatial nature of precipitation data, some type of ...
